Re: MRP Requirements

Please have a look at the requirements on MPS (req #117 to #127):https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wfmiT5nAW7d9I4CAyNQ2IKdOLzpN1a0rnR6Q539lf6M/edit#gid=0

As far as I understand, it answers your concern.

Regarding this topic:

>>#??? new chapter: Bill of distribution (Johan 2014/09/09)

>>In a distribution network the sourcing rules need to be defined: eg "product A in warehouse X is replenished by truck from plant/warehouse Y with a lead time of 7 days". Multiple sources of supply can defined for a single product and destinaion location, in which case each bill of distribution needs a priority. The bill of distribution also defines the transportation mode (eg train, truck, plane), and multiple transportation modes for the same product-source-destination are possible since they will have a different lead time.

>>A certain product-warehouse combination can be replenished in multiple ways: either produced locally using a BOM, either purchased externally from a supplier/subcontractor, either replenished with a BOD shipment from another warehouse.

I expect that I can run an end-to-end planning of a requirement. A big demand on the distribution center should get propagated through the regional distribution centre and can create material requirements in the factory.

So, I see this goes broader than the stock module in my opinion.

It expands the MRP concepts into DRP, “Distribution Requirements Planning”.
